Enjoying so far

It’s good I like the control/SCP vibes and coming back from dead letter office it’s cool to see the universe expanded. One thing I’d reccomend use a limiter to turn up your levels have to go full value to hear anything. Good stuff guys

0 stars if possible

Have only compared this to 1 podcast and worth the same note: Spot a wall in your house and pick a bland, basic color of paint and throw the entire bucket onto that said wall… Grab a chair a few feet away and take a seat… One would gain more entertainment in watching that paint dry than listen to this podcast… Complete garbage and waste of time… You welcome in advance

Entertaining

Descent story, but the narrator is making really unfortunate artistic choices.

It’s fun. Would be a 5-star show but for…….

I enjoy the story and characters a lot, but the narrator is unbearable to listen to. Sounds like he’s working really hard to sound Shakespearean and deliver his narration with gravitas, but it’s bloody cartoonish.

For fans of Control

If you liked Remedy’s Control, you will love this series. Captures much of same feeling of the game, but with its own touch and a cast that brings it all together with the characters they bring to life.

I’m totally LOVING this show!

After listening to the Dead Letter Office, I’ve been wandering from show to show to find one that stands out. This show, so far, is awesome

Next binge!

I love a show with original ideas, works building, complete characters, and authentic sound design, and this show tics all the boxes! On episode 6 now eager to see what's around the corner for Control. Give it a listen!

VanderMeer meets Lynch’s most heartfelt moments.

Funny, personal, and unsettling in the best way, Somewhere, Ohios new series, The dept. of variance, takes you on a surreal ride through the drudgery of office life. Jeff VanderMeer meets David Lynch’s tender moments.
